After years of purchasing new boots every year and having them break every. single. time. I have decided that it is time to finally invest in a great pair of brown riding boots. I have been admiring a couple of pairs for quite some time trying to find just the right pair for me. I want them to be made of leather and be likely to last for a couple of years so I am willing to spend a little bit more. I have found three pairs that I am in love with, These adorable Teva boots for $180, these zip up cuties from Steve Madden for $99.95, and (sigh) these wonderful Frye boots for $598. My favorites are of course the Frye boots, the are gorgoeus and well Frye boots. I think I am leaning most towards the Tevas. I think they will make the perfect long lasting pair for me this winter and for several winters to come!
